Prior to his departure, he let us in on two
major books he was working on, both of which focus on the theory of
information, and upon his return, he gave us the good news that both
have been successfully published—by Springer Publishing Company.

Dr. Dompere has also been generous enough to share with us his
intentions to establish a research institution, a medium through which
he hopes to advance his theories—scientific, mathematical, economic,
political, and philosophical ideas, among others. Nkrumah’s pragmatic
and innovative ideas will feature prominently in this noble undertaking.Being a globally-acknowledged influential thinker and author of
scientific works within the American academy as well as the
international scientific community, and having an impeccable stockpile
of experience with American, African, and international institutions,
and the Organization of American States (OAS), and with intellectuals,
academics and researchers from around the world, Dr. Dompere hopes his
ideational pragmatism will neutralize the entrenched doctrinaire
conservatism and paucity of ideas we see in Ghana and Africa today. He
wants to revolutionize our way of thinking...Now back to the books:
1) “The Theory of Info-Dynamics: Rational Foundations of Information-Knowledge Dynamics” (ISBN 978-3-319-63853-9)

“This book focuses on the development of a theory of info-dynamics—to
support the theory of info-statics in the general theory of information.
It establishes the rational foundations of information dynamics, and
how these foundations relate to the general socio-natural dynamics, from
the primary to the derived categories in the universal existence and
from the potential to the actual in the ontological space. “It also shows how these foundations relate to the general socio-natural
dynamics from the potential to the possible—to give rise to the
possibility space with possibilistic thinking; from the possible to the
probable—to give rise to possibility space with probabilistic thinking;
and from the probable to the actual—to give rise to the space of
knowledge with paradigms of thought in the epistemological space…2) “The Theory of Info-Statics: Conceptual Foundations of Information and Knowledge” (ISBN 978-3-319-61639-1).

“This book discusses the development of a theory of info-statics as a
sub-theory of the general theory of information. It describes the
factors required to establish a definition of the concept of information
that fixes the applicable boundaries of the phenomenon of information,
its linguistic structure and scientific applications. “The book establishes the definitional foundations of information and
how the concepts of uncertainty, data, fact, evidence and evidential
things are sequential derivatives of information as the primary
category, which is a property of matter and energy.“The sub-definitions are extended to include the concepts of
possibility, probability, expectation, anticipation, surprise,
discounting, forecasting, prediction and the nature of
past-present-future information structures. It shows that the factors
required to define the concept of information are those that allow
differences and similarities to be established among universal objects
over the ontological and epistemological spaces in terms of varieties
and identities.Read more...ABOUT DR. KOFI KISSI DOMPEREHe is widely known for the rigor of his mathematical formulations and
modeling of complex qualitative problem. For instance, Prof. Dompere’s
contributions to fuzzy logic, fuzzy mathematics, and fuzzy theory as
they relate to academic economics and the practice of political economy
have widely been acknowledged by academic economists, mathematicians,
institutions, and Springer Publishing, one of his major publishers which
also happens to be one of the world’s largest carriers of scientific
titles and journals; as well as of Adonis & Abbey Publishers Ltd,
and so on.More than 3000 libraries carry Prof. Dompere’s academic works around the
world (see WorldCat for Prof. Dompere’s scholarly works; WorldCat
houses tens of thousands of libraries in at 160 countries; it is also
“the world largest and most comprehensive catalogue of library resources
from around the world.” (See OCLC.org for additional information!
Amazon.com also has them).Also, Prof. Dompere’s high-profile academic standing in the American
Academy, notwithstanding all the above, is exemplified by his respected
membership in a number of prominent institutions: The American Society
for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the world’s largest scientific
organization; the New York Academy of Sciences; the Econometric Society,
an international society of academic economists; the Golden Key
National Honor Society; the American Economic Association (AEA); the
Diopian Institute for Scholarly Advancement (DISA); and the Institute
for Operations Research and Management Science (INFORMS)...Read more...
